I whipped up this top for my sister’s wedding last weekend after failing at searching and searching for the perfect white top to match a full-ish a-line purple skirt from zara (here). You have to have something that isn’t to flowy because of the fullness of the skirt and isn’t knit because I was a bridesmaid and I felt it needed to be a little more dressy. So I quickly whipped up a white top made from drapes (backstory here) and fancied it up with some ruching on the sleeve.

Here are jut a few wedding pictures from the phone. You can see the top in action and how stinkin’ adorable the little wedding boy outfits were. Oh I’m a sucker for suspenders, bow ties, and high socks.

Instructions:
1. cut out a top by tracing around another, making sure the sleeves are a few inches longer.
2. Sew the sides and the shoulder seams together, with the main fabric touching (RST).
3. hem the bottom, neckline and sleeve openings 1/4″ and then another 1/4″
4. Gather the sleeves about 2″ to 3″ at the bottom the sleeve along the shoulder seam line.

This is so cute! I love the idea of adding ruching to a sleeve to dress it up. That fabric is so pretty too, and it looks great with both the jeans and the purple skirt.

I started my search on Pinterest and was lead to you. I don’t even need Pinterest anymore! Your creativity is astounding, and your style is so classy. I am thoroughly impressed with your entire site! I’m so eager to start my first project!

This style is so trendy and yet simple it’s fantastic. I love how easy it can be transformed from casual to formal in a blink of an eye. I also appreciate the workmanship of the piece, clean seams and beautiful job on the sleeves!

Received my Katana yesterday, a day before their earliest predicted delivery. Looks BEAUTIFUL! Came sharp enough to cut paper. The hada and hamon are beautiful! The profile of the tip is a couple millimeters off of symmetrical but otherwise the profile is great in that it can be profiled for any purpose without any extra effort or metal removal. Blade is straight

This sword is well made and came sharp. Shipped in about a week although it was estimated for a month. It is tight in the sheath but has began to loosen up over time. I’ve cut through some water bottles with a clean slice, no problem.
